    Stop all email notifications

    I have an Umbraco installation with an empty <mailSettings/> in the web.config file.  This is because I don't want this installation to send any emails, so I'm not specifying an SMTP host.

     

     

     

     

    However, my UmbracoLog table is now full of the following error:

     

     

     

    in notification: System.InvalidOperationException: The SMTP host was not specified

     

    at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.CheckHostAndPort

     

    at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message

     

    at umbraco.cms.businesslogic.workflow.Notification.sendNotification(User performingUser, User mailingUser, Document documentObject, IAction Action)

     

    at umbraco.cms.businesslogic.workflow.Notification.GetNotifications(CMSNode Node, User user, IAction Action)

    Is there any way in the Umbraco configuration to completely turn off email notifications at the server level such that Umbraco will not even attempt to send email?

    Hey,

    Looks like some users are subscribed to notifications and Umbraco is trying to send those, so I would clear those subscriptions and remove the notification option for your users

    Hi Iain,

    Try to delete this section from UmbracoSettings.config
     

        <notifications>

          <!-- the email that should be used as from mail when umbraco sends a notification -->

          <email>[email protected]</email>

        </notifications>

    Thanks,

    Alex
